A dear friend of mine flew into Lexington for the weekend and we went to Ramsey's for dinner last night (Sunday 2/15). He wanted to try a local place and I hadn't been here in years, as I no longer live in Lexington.
We were promptly seated. The dining room itself was moderately noisy, as it was a holiday weekend and the back of house staff was rushing around getting things done. Our server Jill was over to see us in short order. She was so kind and friendly as I asked several questions about the drink specials and menu. My friend and I got our order together (we each had the Meat and Three), and Jill checked on us regularly while we were waiting for food. She kept our drinks filled and made sure we didn't need anything. I really appreciate that she was attentive without being overwhelming or, to use one of my fav terms, vulturing.
Our order came out quicker than I expected. I wish I had remembered to take photos of the spread because there was so much food! There were a couple of errors with our sides, but Jill was quick to get what we needed. Her friendliness always shined through. The food itself was fantastic. We were pretty hungry so there was not much left for the to-go box.
To wrap the meal up, we each had a slice of pie. We were rather full but the flavor list was too good to pass up. The selling point too was Jill mentioning that their pies are made in a shop up the road named Missy's, which is also owned by Ramsey's, and they are brought in fresh daily. I highly recommend the butterscotch and pecan pies!
If you're wanting some good home cooking in a friendly atmosphere, Ramsey's is the place to go!

Great food, great service. The fried green tomatoes are a fabulous appetizer and the ranch is my favorite.

I was super thirsty. My family and I stopped in to get drinks and a late lunch. I got a root beer. The cups aren’t huge and I went through the first one quickly because as I said, I was thirsty. My salad came to the table. While eating that, I drank my second root beer. My entree arrived. While eating that, I needed a refill. I am less than ten feet from the refill station. I hear our waitress tell the bartender, “she is killing me with drinking so much” as she is filling the mug to bring me my drink. I felt bad. My family felt bad. Wasn’t like she had to hand craft something and it took forever. It was a mug of root beer walked less than 10 feet to me. If I’m paying good money to be there, I’m pretty sure that third cup didn’t hurt anyone. It’s okay if you wanna talk about me but at least make sure it’s not within earshot. That’s not good service.
You won't regret coming here! Best southern cooking ever! Got 5 meals to go. 5x meat with 3 sides. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Pot roast and glazed pork chops were stand outs. Mac n cheese, steamed cabbage, and apple fritters were great sides. Homemade pie was excellent too! Keylime and Mayhem (Derby) pie.

We had the char broiled pork chops with red sauce with creamed corn and mashed potatoes! The pork chops were soooooo tender and cooked perfectly and the sauce was Devine! We are putting them on our rotation for dining out! 10 out of 10!!!!

A culinary institution South of Lexington, KY. Overall good food and selections are local childhood favorites like the navy bean soup and corn bread. The meal you see here is the Fried Chicken Breast ( deboned) with mashed potatoes- no gravy, add butter, cream corn ....which really was not with cream but with a clear corn oil, a corn bread fritter and some white pepper gravy ( not eaten). Hot chocolate and lemonade was ordered as bevarages. The hot chocolate was hot but tasteless....a packet mix no doubt. Lemonade was ok, but not from fresh lemons. Fried chicken was the best food portion present, then the mashed potatoes with real butter comes in second.

The service was a little bit slow, but that’s because they’re cooking fresh food. The food is absolutely amazing. If you want country cooking, this is where you want to eat.
